AN- This is my first fanfic so sorry in advance and I'm not too sure when I will update because I am sitting my GCSE's but I just had to write this and get it out of my system so please review and let me know what you think.

Anything in bold is what they are thinking

Lauren's POV

"So that means you will come then?" I asked with a hint of victory in my voice. Alice had only been in the square for a few months so I hadn't yet had the chance to have a proper night out in town with her. Sure she was quiet but she seems really nice, much better than her waste of a space dad.

"Fine, okay I'll come" Yes! "I'll be ready by about 8"

"Alright see you then, love ya" I replied before making my way back to number 5. As I opened the door raised voices could be heard from the kitchen. Great, mum and dad are at it again. Honestly, a chaotic drama filled life entwined with misery, tragedy and tears can be summed up in one word. Branning and a selfish alcoholic cow can be summed up in another, Lauren. To save myself from another lecture I ran upstairs to take a quick shower.

I seemed to have got lost in the hot water hitting my back as by the time I came out it was already seven. I opened my door to see Abi drowned in books as she revised for another exam. Is that all she ever did?

I dried my hair and rummaged through my wardrobe in the hope of finding something to wear. Note to self, go shopping. After what felt like ages I managed to find a dress I was happy with. It was a black bodycon dress with lace long sleeves with quite a low neck bonus. I slipped it on before curling my hair and applying red lipstick and eye shadow, giving it a smoky look. Surprisingly, I still had 15 minutes left. I decided to paint my nails red and then I put on my red peep toe heels and silver studded hoops after telling Abi to let mum and dad know that I'll be late.

"Try not to get too wasted Lauren." Abi sighed. Even though I knew everybody thought of me as a drunk, it still stung a little more every time it was said to me. Abi can't judge. Alcohol has been there for me longer than she has. I slammed the door so hard even I jumped at the sound.

I knocked on number 23. I heard shuffling and was expecting to Alice all dolled up. She was a right state.

"Al, what's wrong? You look way beyond under the weather." I asked with concern.

"I'm so sorry Lauren, I was going to text you now, looks like my weak immune system has ruined our plans." She said disappointedly.

" It's cool don't worry I will just go by myself, it aint far anyway. Plus I'm sure I will meet someone there" I winked while Alice slightly chuckled. "You just get better yeah." I smiled before making my way to the tube station. This should be fun. Another lonely night that I will end up forgetting in the morning.

Joey's POV

" Yes Joey, you look great, now can we go before all the single girls get taken." Dean, my best mate, said whilst I was studying my appearance in the mirror.

" What happened with Aleesha?" I asked.

" Dumped, got too clingy, I swear these girls, you're with them for a week and they accept a fully committed relationship." I chuckled at Dean's reply. We both have the same attitude towards girls. Our motto is, do her then dump her. We were heading off to the club which is our usual Friday night. I wasn't in a relationship at the moment so I knew what to look for. Blonde hair, blue eyed, skinny and agrees with what you say, those girls are less hassle.

We met up with a few other mates at the club. I was scanning the room when I noticed a brunette checking me out, she didn't tick one box but there was nothing better. I left the lads and made my way over to her.

Lauren's POV

Just before entering the club I received a text message from mum:

Thanks for letting me know yourself you had gone. Oh wait, you didn't did you. This is exactly the irresponsible behaviour that I hate. I will have the painkillers out on the table from when you get back drunk

After reading that I was pissed and not in the mood. Mum could have more confidence in me. I contemplated going home but coming home late or not even coming home at all would piss mum off even more. I walked into the club, making my way over to the bar.

Joey's POV

I was making my way over to her when I saw another brunette heading towards the bar. My eyes wouldn't leave her, she had a sexy body with perfect curves and she was just simply beautiful. She didn't meet my usual criteria, but a change is always good aint it? I made my way over to her when I saw that Dean had beaten me too it.

" Hey sexy, how about you join me and my friends." Dean stated, it was as if he didn't even need to ask.

" How about you just leave me alone" Feisty. I surprisingly liked it. It seemed to suit her.

" Not even a dance." Dean compromised.

" No has two letters, what do you find so hard to understand?" I silently chuckled as this girl had put Dean in his place. Dean went over to some red head. I kept on staring at the girl as she drowned her drink before ordering another one. Right time to make my move. Why are you so nervous? Because she just humiliated Dean and what if she rejects me as well. So what if she rejects you? Find another girl? Why do you care? Because… just look at her.

AN – Please review, thanks :) x
